Wren V5PF Play-Fi

The Wren V5PF measures 6 by 17 by 4.2 inches (HWD) and weighs 6.1 pounds.

On the right side is a panel with a Power button, a status LED, a pair of volume buttons, and a Source select button. There are also two more status LEDs for Wi-Fi and the Aux port.

You can get one in either Bamboo with a brown speaker grille, or in Rosewood with a silver grille (like our test unit).

To set up the V5PF, you'll need to know a few things about your wireless router, including the SSID name, password, and whether it's broadcasting at 802.11g or 802.11n.

The driver configuration consists of a pair of 3-inch long throw woofers with four-layer voice coils, and a pair of wide-dispersion 19mm soft-dome tweeters.

The back panel includes a small Setup button, a 3.5mm auxiliary input, a DC power input, and a USB port.

The bottom panel features a 4mm-thick silicone pad that stabilizes the speaker and decouples it from the table or shelf surface to minimize cabinet vibrations.
